I so enjoyed knowing Clara. She loved color, especially orange....the color of the sun coming up in the morning and going down in the late afternoon. She loved her family dearly and I always noticed how she tried to bring joy to others. We met in Church, years ago, and talked on Sunday morning. That very next Christmas, she was at my door with an ivory afgan that she had spent countless hours making for me. I was blessed with

I so enjoyed knowing Clara. She loved color, especially orange....the color of the sun coming up in the morning and going down in the late afternoon. She loved her family dearly and I always noticed how she tried to bring joy to others. We met in Church, years ago, and talked on Sunday morning. That very next Christmas, she was at my door with an ivory afgan that she had spent countless hours making for me. I was blessed with her care and friendship.

As I looked at the DVD pictures of her life, I was reminded of how very much she loved life and the people that crossed her path. We are better for having known you, Clara. Sometimes we are so busy, we don't notice how fast time is passing for us all, until someone leaves us.

We pray for Jerry, Angie and her family...and hope that you may be comforted in knowing how much you were loved, and find peace in the wonderful memories that you all made together.

Our deepest love and sympathy, Linda & Joe Dick

Angie, I hate that I never got to meet your Mom. If you are anything like her, I know that I would have loved her. I just finished looking at the video, and can see that she had a life filled with good memories and good friends. I love the final photo of her sitting on the bed with the pillow sayiing "goodnight". Goodnight until you meet her again....Love ya Ang...Tonya

I dont think Clara and Jerry know what it meant to have a place I could go to when I was depress but never showed it. They always welcomed me and I would done many things for them if I could of.
